ABC RADIO
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare's leadership is coming under direct threat from within his ruling National Alliance party.
Amid a looming no-confidence vote, the ruling National Alliance party is reportedly split.
The party's Deputy Leader of PNG's Highlands region and Transport Minister Don Polye says he wants to wrestle the leadership from Sir Michael.
He says he will put the challenge during a party meeting next week.
''Yes I am. I am a contestant. I have talked to the Prime Minister on several occasions and also made my intention known to other members of the party''.
PNG's Opposition party says it will make an attempt to move a motion for a no confidence vote later next week.
This political manoeuvring after a Supreme Court rule PNG's Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties and candidates was unconstitutional, allowing MP to move freely and vote against him Prime minister in a no confidence vote.
